A new study of 2,000 U.S. adults shows dark web users report much higher rates of depression, paranoia, suicidal thoughts, self-injury and digital self-harm than surface web users.
No shit suicidal people are turning to the dark web. People are not allowed to talk frankly about it hardly anywhere. Apparently we can’t even talk shit about ourselves without it being labeled “digital self-harm 😭”.
Yeah, there are tons of places where you can’t even start a frank discussion about it without just being spammed with the suicide prevention hotline and have your post/comments taken down. Yeah, it’s SUPER important that people know those resources exist when they’re in crisis but you can’t just send them that, block them from talking to people when they may not have anyone else to talk to, then congratulate yourself on a job well done.
